Is there anything more relaxing than watching a jellyfish slowly drift through the water, quietly pulsating its bell in peaceful propulsion? There’s a reason people flock to the jellyfish exhibits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and stay a while. The fluidity of movement, the quiet calm they embody. There’s no frenetic movement, just the silent, steady beat of their bell. Its the kind of peace that makes you stop, take a breath, the world quiets, and you feel your shoulders drop.

This jellyfish piece may not be alive, but the gentle movement of the tentacles and the subtle stippling of the details evokes a similar quietude to the real deal.

This Magnificent Medusa piece is woodburned by hand on a basswood plank measuring 7 × 11 inches and comes with a sawtooth hanger fastened to the back for easy hanging. A perfect piece to bring some quiet beauty to any nature inspired corner of your home.
